The Color Theory Bundle $65
We teamed up with ceramicist Chante Noir for this exclusive seasonal bundle of goodies. Each colorway is inspired by one of our growers and comes with a bag of single-origin coffee beans, a handmade ceramic mug, and a lightweight cotton tote printed right here in Seattle.
So... is your coffee person more of a red, yellow, or pink type? Are they into a Guatemalan, Mexican, or Costa Rican single origins? (Don't take too long to decide, cuz they're super limited.)

Handwarmer Ceramic Mug $24
We’re including this because someone on staff has a roommate who is obsessed with it—and we get why. Unlike traditional mugs, Handwarmer Mugs feature an ergonomic pocket that lets you wrap your fingers in warmth while sipping your favorite coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Handmade by a family-run ceramics studio in Oregon, these mugs come in both right- and left-handed options.
Each mug is one-of-a-kind, which makes this an especially thoughtful and stylish gift for the holidays. We're talkin chilly mornings on the porch, cozy nights by the fire... they're gonna love it.
COFFEE
Familia Urbano / Colombia $23
This one's brand new to our lineup: Nariño, Colombia is known for bright and sweet single-origins coffees, and this collab amongst four members of the Urbano family lives up to the hype. Handpicked cherries, 18-hour fermentation, and slow drying at ~1700 masl in the high-altitude hills of El Tablón de Gómez. Now say all that 10 times fast.

Manual Coffee Grinder by Timemore $89
This might look like a perfume bottle from outer space, but it’s actually a manual coffee grinder that the coffee world will not shut up about. Foldable handle, solid grip, durable materials—the whole thing is built like it knows it’s elite.
Sure, it’s kinda expensive, and yes the Baratza Encore is just so solid. But a good on-the-go burr grinder is hard to come by, and The Coffee Community swears by it. So the Timemore wins for great gift.

Aeropress Go $50
AeroPress is hands-down #1 way to get really good coffee on the go, and the "Go" version levels it up for backpackers and traveler types. The vacuum seal system extracts perfectly, it doesn't require the perfectionism of a lot of other methods, and it's super easy to clean. Speaking from experience, this thing just might change someone's life.
gear
Onda Coffee Journal $5
This one's a classic, and exclusively for the coffee nerds (snobs???) among us. It's full of tasting note templates and diagrams, so they can log everything they're probably making up about what they taste in that anaerobic catuai bourbon washed natural they won't stop talking about.
For real though, this is a favorite tool amongst our staff. The built-in flavor wheel is helpful for identifying and documenting specific taste profiles, and the whole thing is eco-friendly: Made with 100% recycled paper and printed with soy-based inks. Unique Touch: Each journal contains a secret ingredient, real coffee in the ink.
